Lyrics
No shade,
Referring to no disrespect or ill intent
You were good in my mind
Initially thought positively about the person
Now you're in my view, got me the looking the other way
Now noticing flaws or negative aspects, trying to avoid facing them
Thought you were my type
Believed the person matched preferences
If I knew about you, would saved time, no shade,
If aware of the person's true nature earlier, time wouldn't have been wasted
Maybe next time baby
Reiteration of the idea that knowing earlier could have prevented wasted time
Maybe next time baby
-No shade
-Thought you were my type
-If I knew about you, would saved time,
-No shade
-You, you look so good to me talking so sweet
Attraction to the person's appearance and charm
I just couldn't help myself
Unable to resist their appeal
In my head u were someone else
Mentally projected a different image or persona onto the person
Oh nah
Realization that the person is not as desirable as thought
Call it a phase
Admitting a mistake in judgment, acknowledging the mismatch
Don't get it twisted, i know how to throw it down
-not more i can say
-Flipping the script cause you ain't what I wanted now
-When nothing goes right go left yeah
Moving on from the situation, suggesting better prospects elsewhere
I'm moving onto the next yeah
-Better luck for you, no cap, yeah no cap
-No shade,
Repetition emphasizing the regret of not knowing the reality earlier
You were good in my mind
-Now you're in my view, got me the looking the other way
-Thought you were my type
-If I knew about you, would saved time, no shade,
-Maybe next time baby
-Maybe next time baby
-No shade
-Thought you were my type
-If I knew about you, would saved time,
-No shade
-Never been one to lose
Confidence in not usually losing in situations
You need to know how I felt
Expressing feelings honestly
Why is your ego bruised?
Wondering why the person's pride is affected
Knew you wouldn't take this well
Anticipated negative reaction from the person
Oh my god
Reacting to the person's unexpected behavior, swiftly leaving the situation
Acting insane but I called it
-Ran so fast
-Call me Usain cos I bolted
-Call it a phase
Acknowledging the ability to handle situations, admitting the change in desires
Don't get it twisted, I know how to throw it down
-Not more I can say
-Flipping the script cause you ain't what I wanted now
-When nothing goes right go left yeah
Continuing to move forward, wishing better luck for the other person
I'm moving onto the next yeah
-Better luck for you, no cap, yeah no cap
-No shade,
Continued repetition of regretting the lack of early insight into the person's true nature
you were good in my mind
-Now you're in my view, got me the looking the other way
-Thought you were my type
-If I knew about you, would saved time, no shade,
-Maybe next time baby
-Maybe next time baby
-No shade
-Thought you were my type
-If I knew about you, would saved time,
-No shade
